discuss .Com Domain Market Dead?

StartupNames · Apr 9, 2021

With so many extensions available for as less as 2 dollars hand registration, is the .COM living on borrowed time? In 10-15 years time will .LIFE be the same as .COM in valuation? Or is the .COM living on borrowed time just now...

On deck but not on top.

Last I checked both .top and .icu were cratering from top to bottom

It's really entertaining to watch.

You're easily impressed by legal documents. For your convenience, please read the following articles to get up to speed with fellow domainers.

...i don't need to read your bias articles. I just purchased 3,000+ .online domains where 90% have a .com equivalent that's registered, but NOT available at any price, and you need look no further than DomainCoach.com to see what I mean.

The very last domain I registered about an hour ago Lighthouses.xxxxx has a .com equivalent Lighthouses.com that's been hoarded for over 20 years, and is supposedly for sale at GD for God knows how much?

Maybe you think Lighthouses.Coach, Lighthouses.Jobs or Lighthouses.Shoes make for a better domain

Do not buy allot of .com domains but instead buy one word in other extensions!

Yeah, just do it.
Better for the rest us.

As always, the key is picking the right names at the right prices.

And the top key is picking top names at top prices - but for that you have to turn away from .com because .com is not top.

Thank you for your contribution. I really don't know what to answer to this, but just wanted to let you know that I haven't forgotten you. Best wishes.

The fact that you answered is a proof that you knew what to answer (at least in that moment).

I recommend checking .top (the (meaning of the) term of this TLD, not any numbers or stats) again (but now in the dictionary), you will find that top is top.

Not this old thread again... yawn
Seriously, everyone that thinks the com is dead just keep regging those others.
Keep the money flowing one way and just drop all your coms.
Get rid of that trash. Filter your portfolio until there are no more of those nasty old coms and never buy another one, ever.

That is the key to success in this business.
Buy .horse.

Peace,
Kenny

lol...i just sent you a Linkedin message about Chris Taylor and "Go Blue" Dot com isn't dead, but overuse and overprice has taken the life out of most of them. That said however, I was able to pick one up a week ago that has the real potential to be developed into a multi million dollar business. They just legalized Ganja in my state, and the domain "Ganja Express" (slightly different) will look great on a billboard and on the side of a panel truck hauling grade A weed from our 30 acre plot in central Virginia.

The names you want to pick are ones that sell for an ROI that makes sense when compared to your purchase price. Extension doesn't matter as much as investing in the types of names that have a track record of selling well.

If you're making money selling .top names, that's great, but .com names are generally the safer investment.

Keep spamming and trolling the thread with Stupid.top with no sale history.
There are some good ones that he can register:
Mental.top
Retard.top
Spam.top
Troll.top

No one thinks that .com is dead but more and more people understand that it is not top.

At this point, I am not talking about selling top domain names, I am talking about owning top domain names.
If you want to own top domain names you need .top as extension - in other words, the extension is what matters most here.
.com is generally only the safer investment for those who want to sell domain names that aren't top because .com is not top.

He again!
Unfortunately he still has no clue what spam(ming) is, is he really a PRO?

Aside that, I noted that the domain names
mental.com
retard.com
spam.com
troll.com
are all registered - maybe by him because these keywords came out of his mind and in regards to the used TLD probably because he thinks .com is top.

There is no stupid TLD, there are only TLDs that are not top and only one TLD that is top.
In case he has a sales history then most probably just because his buyers thought his domain names were top.

I wish him all the top.

The rest of us are talking about selling domain names (i.e. the point of this thread).

You're absolutely right... .com is not .top. Thank goodness for that, or I'd be losing a few thousand dollars per year. So feel free to enjoy owning many .top names that don't sell. But go start your own thread to discuss it. This thread is to discuss the .com market.

The point of this thread is to discuss the question if the .com market is dead.
In other words, what influences the .com market.

One anwer is that .top influences the .com market and a good example for that is this thread, I am influencing the .com market, also right now, with my top domain names and with my posts - that are all ((in)direct) reactions to those who try to portray .com as top.

I enjoy owning many .top domain names that are not for sale as they are all a part of one specific .top domain name that tops all .com domain names and all domain names in general and the odds are solid that this specific domain name will sell well

If you want to discuss other topics than the topic we are discussing here, you need to post in a related thread or you may start your own thread because this thread is open for those who discuss everything related to the mentioned question which I answer "not dead but not top".

Correct - but the point is, that you can remove the dot if you display the TLD alone (without the 2nd level domain) because the dot before a TLD is just a delimiter and actually not part of the TLD, the TLD itself is actually just "com" (which is not "top") / "top" (which is "top") in this example.

.com is not .top
=
(.)com is not (.)top
=
com is not top

=

com is not top

com is not top

com is not top

com is not top

Sounds good, buddy. Have fun with that.

If you think you are influencing anything, you are delusional.

NameBio shows (2) .TOP sales in 2021 for $281 and $344. $625 in total reported .TOP sales in 2021.

.COM has 45,900 reported sales for $40,100,000 in the same time

.TOP as as irrelevant as your off-topic spam.

Your opinion was readed but it is irrelevant in the context I am speaking of.

The fact that .com is not top does not need to be backed up by any sales, it is delusional to think I am not influencing the .com market.

I am influencing the .com market in a way you seem not to realize - you just get confronted with the result and the main result is that .com starts to realize that it got topped, that's why it searches for ways to compensate (.web) but it is pointless, .com will never be able to compensate being not top.

That being said, you too need to learn what "spam" is.

And last but not least, trying to label my posts as "off-topic" is the same as trying to label .com as top.

Have fun with your domain names / projects / hobbies.

In my case, it is not a matter of fun (although it makes indeed fun influencing the .com market), it is a matter of understanding - primarily in terms of the meaning of words.

If you understand which TLDs are literally > elementally not top, you understand which TLD is literally > elementally top.

You're welcome to all the top TLDs you like. I'll stick with the ones that sell.

There is only one top TLD and it has the advantage that it is always top - even if it doesn't sell.
And then there are all other TLDs and they have the disadvantage that they are never top - even if they sell.
This is the difference.

I do not own a TLD.
I do own a (some) specific top domain names(s) and you do not know if it (they) will sell or not like you do not know if your own domain names will sell or not.
Enjoy not knowing it.
